Ashok Gehlot was referring to Mohan Bhagwat's Wednesday statement in Haridwar that India has to grow big and its rise is incumbent upon the rise of dharma, remarks that were interpreted by some BJP rivals as a pitch for 'Akhand Bharat'.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday asked RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to clarify what he meant by “Akhand Bharat” and questioned if India was not already “united”.
He was referring to Mohan Bhagwat's Wednesday statement in Haridwar that India has to grow big and its rise is incumbent upon the rise of dharma, remarks that were interpreted by some BJP rivals as a pitch for 'Akhand Bharat'.
Addressing a public meeting at Ratanpur in Dungarpur on the arrival of the Congress party's 'Azadi Gaurav Yatra' participants there, Mr Gehlot also asked Mohan Bhagwat to clarify the role of the RSS after the BJP assumed power.
"You must have read the statement of Mohan Bhagwat ji (that) Akhand Bharat will be made in 15 years. Isn't it a united India now?” Mr Gehlot asked.
